Why You Need to be Drinking Wheatgrass

Ever heard of wheatgrass?

Yeah I can't believe it took me this long to get some of this stuff!!!

A few years back { more like ten } I always heard about those healthy weirdos drinking wheatgrass shots and I'm all like ewwww get that away from me

Now, I f'in love it!!!!

You can take the tablets if you want, but I like the powder form best. It absorbs quicker into the body

yippie!

So you're thinking...."Ok why do I need this in my life"

A little about wheatgrass below and why it is so epic-ly RAWsome!

• First off it aids in alkalizing the body which is amazing anyway
• Supports overall health and wellness
• Gives you energy & boosts immune function
• Helps achieve 5+ daily servings of vegetables
• Excellent source of Beta-carotene, calcium, chlorophyll, fiber, iron, & vit K to name a few
• Contains ALL essential amino acids

So pretty much it's the shit.....in a green powder form ;)

Now how do I like to drink it?????

I love it mixed in my favorite cold pressed juice ^^^^ or this juice

It can be added to just plain 'ole water with ice or added to any of your daily smoothies!

It is so dang simple to incorporate into your diet and you all should be getting this right away

Like go....now

You'll thank me later

Cacao Ball Recipe

GUILTY..... I made these on a whim

Totally made up the recipe....do y'all do that??

I am very brave in the kitchen and will constantly throw things together hoping they come out in one piece!!!

Here's a recipe that not only came out pretty well, my picky ass BF loved them.

Deets below, tell me if you make them!!

Don't ^^ those look amazing?!

Recipe:

- 1 cup of organic granola (or oats)

- Roughly half a cup of cashews (or another nut of your choice)

- 2-3 Tbsps of organic cacao powder

- 1 Tbsp of ground chia

- 2-3 Tbsp of homemade or organic peanut butter

-A bowl of unsweetened shredded coconut

- Almond milk to make it a paste consistency

I used my VitaMix to mix all ingredients ( except the coconut ) until the perfect consistency. I added in little by little the almond milk so I don't have an exact measurement there. 

Once blended and still a little chunky I used a small cookie scoop to make even perfect balls, stuck them in the fridge for 10-15m and there ya have it.

A super simple sweet treat that will most definitely satisfy your choc cravings

BTW I like them frozen best ;)

Recipe: Balsamic Glazed Chicken

 Hey y'all, I'm back with another healthy and quick dinner post. Completely clean but tastes as if it isn't. So the only time consuming part about this is marinating the chicken which you could do either overnight or before you go to work and will be ready for dinner when you get home. Whenever I want a quick dinner I always grill veggies and/or chicken because I make it a habit to have both on hand at all times.

Below, I will explain everything picture by picture

:)

Balsamic Glazed Chicken Recipe

I marinated this batch for a couple hours but its up to you of you want to marinate over night or for just a few hours.

So whats in the marinate??

Recipe: (rough guess sorry! I don't measure)

- juice of 1 lemon

- small spoonful of dijon mustard 

-1 clove of fresh garlic { this garlic press }

-enough olive oil/balsamic vinegar to completely coat the chicken

usually a little more oil than vinegar

Once done marinating, I heat up a non-stick pan and put some of my favorite coconut oil to grill them in. I continually add in some of the marinate as well to really make a nice coating for the chicken

Once done with the chicken, I throw in an entire chopped yellow pepper. NOTE: I use all colors of peppers this happened to be the one I had at the time. The more colorful, the better ;)

The final product is a delicious and quick meal you can prepare on the fly. Simple ingredients always make the best dinners. I mean, am I right?!

Tell me if you all try this and of course if you have any other recipes please leave them in the comments! I am always looking for new ones!
